    Im wondering if someone has the info on the 3 line rule on Wis side of river. Trying to show someone that it’s legal but cant find the regs. Can someone post this for me?

    That’s a subject a lot of people aren’t familiar with! (follow the regs of where you are fishing, not where you are from).

    I was just trying to convince a guy about that last week. He is from Iowa and has both IA and IL licenses like me. He was trying to tell me that you cannot have two possessions (one from each state), that the regulations are for where you live. (not talking about the Miss river, talking about inland). He also tried to tell me that with his IA 3rd line permit he can fish 3 lines over in IL as well, because he has an Iowa resident license. I tried to inform him otherwise (being as polite as possible) but he wouldn’t hear any of it. So I hope he learns the rules before a CO shows him with his ticket book.

    Simple rule to follow. Follow the regulations for where your butt is located when fishing.

    Well, regardless of what I thought the rules were… Let’s just say I have a great spot for 4″-6″ sunnies.
